Wild Wales Holidays

If you are looking for spectacular scenery, unspoilt countryside, and the chance to escape from the hurly burly of life, then the stunning Black Mountains in the Brecon Beacons National Park has to be top of your list.

The spectacular Llanthony Valley in the Black Mountains winds its way through some of the most breathtaking countryside in Britain.

This wonderful place is only 3 hours from London and 1 1/2 hours from Bristol or Birmingham.
